just read an article about why the word “internet” isn’t really capitalised anymore. reads a little like linguistics philosophy at times (idk if that’s a thing)

the common business-orientated language

blockchain is essentially a nuisance. also very sad to hear that this publication is going out of business though this was my first time reading it. the silver lining is that all published articles remain online.

the Christmas break started and i was in my room for more than 40 hours and i thought today was still Saturday. silly me. started watching Halt And Catch Fire with class genius and made a lot of pancakes and cooked noodles too. my new place is cosy. feeling slightly under pressure because there are a lot to be done this holiday season. wish me luck. but somehow im still reading random things rather than doing productive work. smh.
